Playstation 3 and Xbox enthusiasts definitely have serious fun with Red Dead Redemption, the action-packed console game developed by no less than RockStar San Diego. After so much anticipation, gamers are finally able to taste the realistic action since it was released back in mid-2010.

 

What makes a game truly exceptional, by the way? If you ask any gaming enthusiast, he is likely to cite storyline, game play, sound, and art design, to name a few, as among the basic features of a stellar game. Unfortunately, not all developed console games pass their standards. There have been a lot of games, both in the past and present, which create a lot of buzz prior to their launching but only for the gamers to realize that the time spent for waiting and anticipating isn’t worth it.

 

Thankfully, Red Dead Redemption was able to deliver its promise of astounding plot and game play. The game itself has been rated five stars by most of its followers, and basically had it on top of the list of their favorite games.

 

Red Dead Redemption vs. GTA series

 

Much has been said about the said resemblance of Red Dead Redemption with the GTA series. Although its developer had been honest about the game being patterned on the Grand Theft Auto storyline, Red Dead Redemption has more to offer.

 

Basically, the GTA video game series involved having to walk all over the city for possible moneymaking schemes. Also, the storyline itself has raised the brows of many of the traditionalists because of the act of stealing and violence involved in the game play. GTA series purely engage the main character in
stealing vehicles, beating up citizens, robbing them, and even killing them, just so he can pull in money for his survival. The central figure gets chased off by the authorities, gets into series of fights with notorious gangs, and even gets run over by different vehicles. The plot of the game is centered on the premise to steal all sorts of vehicles—cars, taxis, trucks, vans, ambulances, buses, and police cruisers, to name a few, hence, the title Grand Theft Auto.

 

But as for the Red Dead Redemption, it isn’t only about stealing, fighting, beating up or killing people. Rather, it offers every player a wider game spectrum. It promotes a much alleviated game environment. It paves the way for numerous possibilities, leaving the gamer to choose an option that is most feasible for him. The player himself is given the leeway to choose the manner on how he would like to carry out the game. Also, it adds up an impressive and genuine touch to the storyline, what with the presence of some sense of morality. What is more interesting in the game play is the fact that it is set in the American Wild back in the year 1911.

 

Any game aficionado is surely going to have a great time exploring the Red Dead Redemption game environment. Apart from its compatibility with the Playstation and Xbox, it can further be played in PC.
